Before you hire your first contractor, sign your first contract or start work on site, take 20 minutes to read this guide.

Home Project Starter Guide

It covers ten of the questions and decisions I wish I’d understood before our own renovation began. The aim isn’t to tell you how to renovate your home — it’s to help you avoid the common oversights that can lead to unnecessary cost, delays and stress later.

Free to download. No catch.

Built from real renovation experience, the Starter Guide helps you think through the questions many homeowners only discover once work has already started.

  • ✓ Why your project budget is more than one number
  • ✓ Why your home insurance needs checking before structural work begins
  • ✓ Planning permission and compliance considerations
  • ✓ Why timelines almost always take longer than expected
  • ✓ The difference between budget and cashflow
  • ✓ What to think about before appointing a contractor
  • ✓ How to prepare your home and family before disruption starts
  • ✓ The hidden costs many homeowners don’t budget for
  • ✓ The importance of contingency planning
  • ✓ Why staying organised from day one makes every later decision easier

No spam. No automated sales sequence. Just the Starter Guide delivered to your inbox.

Over 21 months, I made thousands of decisions managing our own renovation. This guide shares ten lessons I wish someone had shared with me before the first contractor arrived.
